The aim of our study is to compare two different syndesmosis transfixation methods in AO/OTA Weber C ankle fractures. Our hypothesis is that 50% of screw fixed fibulas but only 5% of suture-button fixed fibulas are in malposition. All skeletally mature patients (16 years or older) with AO/OTA Weber C type fractures operated within a week after trauma are consecutively included into the study. The tibiofibular transfixation is randomly performed either by a 3,5 mm tricortical screw or a suture-button (TightRope). Malposition of the tibiofibular joint is assessed in an intraoperative computed tomography. Clinical outcome is assessed by using Olerud-Molander, RAND ja 36-Item Healt Survey after 1-year from the injury.
